Feast of Poetry, 2!

[alpharaposa]

Here is your invitation to my feast of poetry! I have volunteered to cook one dish for each of you. All you have to do is ask.

The rules:
1) Give me ingredients! Either three words for a theme, or a link to an image or video. Please keep words and links PG13.
2) Give me a recipe! Tell me what kind of poem you want. It can be as simple as a rhyming couplet, or as complicated as a sonnet.
3) One per person. Spread the word if you know somebody who would like their own creation!
4) You can share! You can reprint or link to the poem, simply give me credit and link to my journal, please.

You can request a sonnet for your favorite lolcat, or a haiku for a sunset. Silly or serious. I promise to do my best.

I'm opening requests now. I won't start making poetry until tonight, when I get home. Please be patient- good food takes time.

EDIT: closing requests! So few!

Serious I managed, but not free form. :)

Lessons

The noble wolf lives in a pack
They run, and hunt, and live as one.
Numbers add strength to meet a lack
But they turn on those who run alone.

The stalwart cougar walks alone.
Solitary and strong, the mountain beast
Needs no pack to raise her son
But has no others to share her feast.

Both have their strength, both their sorrow
Some would play dog, and others cat.
But you, my son, may face tomorrow
At times with friends, at times without.

So learn from both, but make your plans
To fit the circumstance; be a man!
